Hehe I dont think you carry a mg42 on the back just like that. Its a very heavy weapon. And radio mens usally dont have field equipment.
Lol?
I carried a MG62 (MG3), a MG42 copy on my back in bootcamp, when i was 16... it wasnt really that hard, the other stuff... two crates, that should weight about the same as about 200 7.62mm nato rounds. and some other stuff. Sure, it was hard for me, like i wrote, i had alot of other stuff to, but that guy only seems to have Mg42 on his back... a with drummag. These are soldiers...
MG42; 11.5 kg with bipod
Anyway, im wondering why a machinegunner has those pockets for MP40 or MP44 magazines?
